Tuesday’s Tips & Tricks: 1000 ways to use an ice cream scoop

You’ve heard of a 1000 ways to use duct tape? Well, I’m pretty sure I can come up with 1000 ways to use an ice cream scoop. Ok, perhaps I exaggerate a little, but honestly, if there is one tool I find invaluable in the kitchen its my ice cream scoops. Yes, plural. I have multiple ice cream scoops. They come in all colours and sizes. I use different ones for different purposes but honestly, it’s my regular sized ice cream scoop I reach for most often. It’s just when I want to get all fancy smancy that I grab the other sizes. 😉

So let’s get started on all the ways I use an ice cream scoop in the kitchen:

measuring out cooking dough – it always makes a perfect round ball and cookies will all be the same size

scooping muffin mix into muffin tin

scooping cupcake mix into cupcake liners

scooping banana bread into individual little designer loaf pans

evenly distributing cake mix between cake pans

making meatballs – again, so they are all the same size and round

small scoops replace my melon baller – make watermelon or other melon balls

I’m sure you get the idea. Oh, and they also make great toys for the kids to play with. They can scoop up rice in a sensory bin, the squeezing with help improve their motor skills. You can also pop a pompom ball in the scoop and let them practice their balancing skills. Possibilities are endless. Don’t forget it’s original intention, scooping out ice cream!
